Lithium Ion Battery Recycling-A CR3 Communication

Abstract

At present most lithium ion batteries, such as the ones found in cell phones and laptops, are not recycled. At the Center for Resource Recovery and Recyclability (CR3), we believe that such an open loop industrial cycle is not sustainable; it is our strong conviction that we must develop and establish viable lithium ion battery recycling methodologies. The fi rst reason is for environmental concerns.
